We may like to think that the people in our lives are well-adjusted, happy, healthy minded individuals, we sometimes realize that it just isn't so. This is a powerful story of one man and his quest for COMMITMENT from the one person he truly loved. Problem is the other person is married. Further the other person was seeing a third person. Things get somewhat complicated as he finds himself in and out, and out and in again and again. In fact we would call this a TOXIC relationship. Sure - but doesn't LOVE conquer all? Life is too short to spend your time dealing with toxicity. Today's show will provide knowledge and education on the worst of the toxic personalities out there and how to spot them; and the most common tactics they employ to gain attention for themselves. HAVE YOU ENCOUNTERED TOXIC PERSONALITIES? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? Ask not WHY - ASK WHAT? WHAT! DrBev, what do these personalities have in common?

I remember the call like it was yesterday, yet it was more than a year ago. One of our very own; DrBev Beverly Jackson, a remarkable woman, an accomplished psychotherapist who has spent her life assisting people to look FEAR in the eyes and defeat it - was now in a spiral mode of shock and horror with the murder of her grandson.

“No” is a lesson that we’ve carried from our earliest memories, and these memories are encapsulated in deep emotions. We have to negotiate around that little word “no” to be able to release some of our limitations that we have placed on ourselves. The key is to learn how to regain your personal power and positive self-esteem. When we experienced no’s early in childhood, it made us feel like we were flawed, not quite perfect, and that helped us place blame, shame, and guilt on ourselves. Many of us are still experiencing no’s from a point of emotion, not a point of reason. Beverly "DrBev" Jackson guides the listener through the possible root causes of why there may be relationship issues. Check out DrBev's small book discussing where these emotional issues originate, she then gives exercises to help work past "no" to a knowing of improved self-image and emotional health.

Relationships are kinda like the weather, just wait a few minutes and it might change. But what really constitutes a great relationship? What if your relationship is perfectly FINE? Of course that depends on how you define F.I.N.E. Frustrated, Irritated, Neurotic, and Erratic DrBev takes on a topic that impacts about every one of us RELATIONSHIPS. In a style like only she can, she will peel the onion on what it takes to enjoy a great relationship, and what the signs are for TROUBLE. Although different cultures have differing expectations for health and well-being, many of the following characteristics are likely to be present in individuals with good mental health: A sense of well-being and contentment A zest for living – the ability to enjoy life, to laugh and have fun Resiliency – being able to deal with life’s stresses and bounce back from adversity Self-realization – participating in life to the fullest extent possible, through meaningful activities and positive relationships Flexibility – the ability to change, grow, and experience a range of feelings, as life’s circumstances change A sense of balance in one’s life – between solitude and sociability, work and play, sleep and wakefulness, rest and exercise, etc. A sense of well-roundedness – with attention to mind, body, spirit, creativity, intellectual development, health, etc. The ability to care for oneself and for others Self-confidence and good self-esteem “Turn your adversity into a miracle, something bigger and better than we could ever believe," DrBev For Further Insight: Book that DrBev endorsed: Conscious Living: Finding Joy in the Real World 

The numbers are startling, 1 in 4 women and 1 in 100 men respond “YES,” that they have experienced 'Military Sexual Trauma' MST, when screened by their VA provider. However we know from research that the numbers are much much higher for both men and women in the military. Those men that are willing to talk about their personal experience is quite different than those that have actually suffered and experienced abuse. Research shows that the numbers are more over the 50% mark - that is a huge disparity. For many, SHAME, DISGUST, and ANGER, take over their lives and if left unchecked - it will destroy their future. This is the SILENT DESTROYER OF LIVES of both men and women in the United States Military! ... it doesn't have to be this way! Symptoms include issues of not being able to feel LOVE, HAPPINESS, OR TRUST. Any sexual activity in which one is involved against one’s will – he or she may have been pressured into sexual activities, may have been unable to consent to sexual activities (for example, when intoxicated), or may have been physically forced into sexual activities. Other experiences that fall into the category of MST include Hazing or “just something normal”, unwanted sexual touching or grabbing; threatening, offensive remarks about a person’s body or sexual activities; and/or threatening or unwelcome sexual advances. This is a very personal and powerful discussion today on EMOTIONS R US for DrBev and her guest, Yolanda Harper. OUR SENSE OF WORTHINESS --- THAT CRITICAL PIECE THAT GIVES US ACCESS TO LOVE AND BELONGING LIVES --- LIVES INSIDE OUR STORY.”  BRENE BROWN Yolanda Harper is a Master Accelerated Resolution Therapist and works in conjunction with the Lone Survivor Foundation, the University of South Florida College of Nursing, and Give an Hour to provide services to Veterans.

When children aren’t given information, they fill in the blanks - something we've all experienced growing up. When children are lied to - they grow up thinking that lying is acceptable behavior. When children are misdiagnosed - it does irreparable damage to their psyche. When adults saddle children with unnecessary labels that often have nothing to do with what ails that child - they have limited that child's ability to be their true-self. Emotionally well-balanced adults are the product of years of nurturing, caring and informing your children. In fact, the biggest gift you can contribute to society today - is the gift of a well-balanced and emotionally developed child. It all has to start with knowledge - and today knowledge is what you'll find as DrBev talks to an industry professional and leader in Dr. Nekeshia Hammond. “Your kid is not bad, fruit goes bad, vegetables go bad, but the kid is not bad,” says DrBev. Talking with children about emotional feelings requires learning an entirely new set of parenting/educator/caregiver skills. It may push your limits at a time that is already challenging - but it is essential if you are to have that breakthrough moment with your child. Dr. Nekeshia Hammond is a licensed psychologist and founder of Hammond Psychology & Associates, P.A., a private practice serving children, teens, families, and adults. Her current focus is completing psychological evaluations (Gifted, learning disorders, ADHD, depression, anxiety, etc.). She is also a frequent professional contributor for major media outlets and news channels. Featured in numerous media channels, her most prestigious accolades are being one of the top psychologists in the country to receive the Early Career Achievement Award from the American Psychological Association. "Let us remember: One book, one pen, one child, and one teacher can change the world." Malala Yousafzai For Further Insight: The Practice Website can be found here Follow Dr. Hammond on Twitter Connect on Linkedin Dr. Hammond's book resulted from countless frequently asked questions she has received in her practice. She is a strong advocate for raising emotionally healthy children and this book will be a wonderful resource addressing several topics related to emotional health.

Mental Health is one of those topics that everyone wants to discuss directly after a terror attack or a major incident. Mental Health is also one of those topics where everyone claims to be an expert. Truth is America is experiencing a MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS at this very moment. Please don't nod your head and pretend you know what I'm talking about. You do that and you'll start to look like our political class - their head moves, their mouths open, yet nothing intelligent comes out! Okay perhaps I'm being a bit over zealous out of the gate, or perhaps you're being too sensitive. Either way what I need to talk to you about today is important - so I've asked Dr. Larry Richardson to join me on the show. “I’m responsible for what I say, but I’m not responsible for what you hear,” says Dr. Richardson. Why is mental health so important? And more importantly, why do many of our leaders bury their head in the sand and pretend that they have the answers for the next election? Mental Health impacts every single one of us. Not one of us get a free pass in this lifetime. We are a country divided and in many ways a country on the brink - and not a good brink friends! “America has always been divided, I don’t know why people are so surprised about the division - it’s always been divided along racial, cultural, and economic lines from the beginning,” says Dr. Richardson. Dr. Larry T. Richardson has over 27 years of experience in the fields of mental health and addictions treatment.  He currently operates a full time private practice behavioral health care business. He is currently a Mental Health Consultant for Jacksonville Job Corp and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Dr. Richardson has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology and Biology from Florida A & M University, a Master of Arts Degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of North Florida, and a Ph.D. in Psychology from LaSalle University. He has conducted workshops, seminars, and training at numerous conferences all over the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean. When asked about the political ramifications of the election and mental health, Dr. Richardson said he would ask the following question to each of the political candidates. What type of plan do you envision in which every American would be assured of at least these 3 things: Can you insure the best possible healthcare and access to it without barriers - for everyone? Will everyone who desires have access to education that is in line with their potential and ambition? How would you insure that every American family or individual be entitled to safe and affordable housing? “This country was founded on a lie and hypocrisy,” as Dr. Richardson goes on to explain how the origins of America were less than pretty! Should be an interesting chat with DrBev and Dr. Richardson.

In this case, the numbers do add up. There is one death by suicide in the U.S. every 12.3 minutes. Suicide takes the lives of over 38,000 Americans every year. Every day, approximately 105 Americans die by suicide.* The numbers add up to a SUICIDE EPIDEMIC! Suicide crosses all the boundaries. Young and Old. Rich and Poor. Educated and Dropouts. Blonde and Brunette. Tall and Short. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death; homicide ranks 17th. Social status is not an indicator that confirms if one will take their own life. Social status does not discriminate. On today's show, DrBev will discuss this epidemic with a Suicide Survivor Tara Lee Hoover. They'll talk about the Poor & Poverty, the Miserable and Middle-class, the Problem & Privileged. Tara will talk intimately on how she took hundreds of pills at age 40 - in an attempt to end her own life. Her struggles growing up, the pressures of being a teenager, failed relationships all found her on death's doorstep. She came to realize that the answer was not in the drugs, but was much deeper than that. Her journey takes her full circle, as she not only discovers the cause and affect - but now she is on a mission to change the course for others before it is too late! "In a surprising switch, the offspring of the affluent today are more distressed than other youth. They show disturbingly high rates of substance use, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, cheating, and stealing. It gives a whole new meaning to having it all." Suniya S. Luthar Ph.D. The ease of accessibility of nonprescription drugs coupled with the high-risk behaviors among teenagers add to the growing concern for harm to the adolescent population. This population is most at risk for the consequences of indiscriminate drug use. “We have to see the signs, God has given us these children… we have to make sure they are emotionally healthy, and that they have the coping skills to deal with the pressures that come along with life,” Tara Lee Hoover. Pharming parties may also be referred to as "Skittles parties” or “skittling" by comparing the pill-popping behavior with the small hard candies that come in multiple colors and flavors. "Robo-tripping," referencing the cough suppressant Robitussin, is the abuse of cough medications containing dextromethorphan, in which the cough syrup, often left over from earlier illnesses, is drunk alone or in combination with other substances to obtain a high. Facing Those Fears Once you’ve identified exactly what you’re afraid of, the next step is facing your fears and unlearning them through fear extinction. This can be done in several ways. Learn About it- One of the biggest promoters of fear is uncertainty. If you’re scared of something, learn as much as you can about it. Start Small- Start taking small steps toward building familiarity with the thing you fear. Fears can sometimes seem insurmountable; by starting small, they will seem more manageable. Talk About it- You can only build confidence when fear is gone. By keeping it inside, you’re giving it more power over you. Talking about it with someone you trust will make it seem less daunting. Train Yourself- Conditioned fears are the result of our brains expecting a certain response when we’re placed in a situation. Take steps to retrain your brain so it develops a different response. For instance, if you want to become a veterinarian, but are afraid of dogs because one bit you as a child, retrain your brain by putting yourself in situations where dogs are present. It may seem scary and overwhelming initially, but when nothing happens, you brain will soon realize that the old response of fear isn’t needed. More from the TaraLeeHoover website.

The look on her mother's face told the story. Without a moment to process, Jody uttered those words she began to regret - "dad committed suicide, didn't he?" Nineteen years after her father’s suicide, Jody found herself still desperately searching for ways to pick up the pieces of her life. She was a teenager at the time, and at 15 years old, she barely understood what had happened. “I started to yell out loud… How could you do this to me dad? How could this happen?" If you've ever experienced betrayal, grief, or loss, you know how difficult it is to climb your way out of those dark places. For many years Jody wished there was a “reset button” that would bring her more inner peace, love, success, and happiness. She wanted so desperately to let go of the past so she could confidently move forward. She was tired of fear, doubt and worry consuming her life. She wanted to stress less and smile more. She didn't know how she would do it, but she began her quest. Her quest continues today as she talks with DrBev to detail her journey; the pain, the sorrow, the tears, and then the moment it all changed. “I feel grateful for having gone through what I’ve gone through, as a result of my pain - I’ve been able to inspire and empower other people.” Jody Agard is the best-selling author of Let Love in 101; A Practical Guide to Love & Happiness, she is also a Suicide Survivor Coach, a Self-Love Coach and a speaker. In her book, Let Love in 101, Jody candidly shares her journey, allowing the reader an inside look at the steps she took to transform her inner and outer world as she began to pick up the pieces and improve her life. Jody shows the reader how to find happiness within themselves and restore balance in all areas of their life. Her work has inspired countless women to radically love themselves from the inside out. She provides practical advice and offers inspiration to anyone who has ever felt lost and needs help finding their way back. She’s also mom, a freelance writer and a lover of the outdoors.

My name is Young Sane, I am songwriter, rapper, college student, and a student of the game. When I was eight years old I was hit by a car, I was in a coma for a month, my parents told me -doctors said I wouldn't make it, but I made a remarkable comeback. When I was little I had visions of going into the medical field, but as I got older, I had internal conflicts of what I wanted to become. At the age of fourteen I found music. I started rapping as a hobby, then it turned into a passion, now this passion is a dream that I want to make come true, I WILL GET signed to a HIGH FILE record label. Music saved my life from so many things. "Take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the clarity, and the emotions to affect other people." Jim Rohn Your emotional system can give you an advantage in decision making if you make proper use of it. Many people think of their emotions as something they have to manage or control rather than something upon which they could capitalize. Evolution has given you a particular information system that you can use--a summary of information about the environment and an aggregate of a huge amount of data about a situation. Emotions can tell you something about the world that you may not have accurately perceived in another way. They are something to interpret and use rather than an annoyance that you should ignore or control. Just like the thumb on your hand, emotions have evolved to help you, even though at times they may seem to get in the way. You will enjoy this incredible young man, and I promise you - you'll learn something! So sit back, relax and enjoy the show friends! Oh and by the way, if you know someone on 'music-lane' go ahead and forward them Young Sane's email address and tell them DrBev sent him... youngsane1195@gmail.com.

Art is intended for people to challenge themselves and work through the emotions they see presented in the artistic message. Visionary, unique; art and the emotional connection will open up your mind to all the possibilities within your own life! DrBev takes you on a journey of how emotions play into the world of art - and why it matters? Ms. Meek is a writer, photographer, performance artist, spoken word artist, editor, spiritual guide, life coach mentor, painter, visionary, motivator, production, and activist. From her biography: My work is my Dharma. For me, the challenge is always to express the creativity that comes to me and through me. My art form is expression, try as we may to contain it, expression is pretty boundless. Am I a poet who paints a picture with more than words or a painter who counsels and encourages? Does it really have to be defined or limited? A student of life, I am on a constant journey to understand all that life has in store for me to grasp. I have a deeply rooted passion for understanding the world and humankind from a global perspective. In a nutshell. I am doing what my Creator has me on the planet to do and I'll do it until I have no more to offer. What are you doing with your life? I pray you are manifesting your goals and visions and that those goals serve yourself and others. ​​​​​Find out more at MsMeek.com. Art is a human activity consisting in this that one man consciously, by means of certain external signs hands on to others feelings he has lived through, and that other people are infected by these feelings and also experience them.

DrBev, Am I a crisis junkie? I keep attracting Drama Queens. I feel like a magnet for sadness and misery relationships. How can I be addicted to feeling bad? Am I crazy?

I try to be productive and happy, but, it takes so such effort. Maybe, I have become accustomed to the pain and think that there is no solution to overcome it.

SAN FRANCISCO—Simone, 54, female, lesbian, white, urban. I was with my abusive partner, Tasha, for ten years. “The most recent incident occurred when I told Tasha that I didn’t want to go on vacation with her.

SAN FRANCISCO—Simone, 54, female, lesbian, white, urban. I was with my abusive partner, Tasha, for ten years. “The most recent incident occurred when I told Tasha that I didn’t want to go on vacation with her. She exploded and started yelling, “I want you out of this house,” and threw my clothing and other belongings out of our home. I left and was too frightened to return. I eventually came back to pick up my belongings and Tasha pushed and shoved me, threatened to melt the hard drive on my computer, and said, “If you take anything from this house that is mine, you will draw your last breath.” Tasha threatened to kill me two more times while we were breaking up."Domestic violence in the GLBTQ community is a serious issue.

What!!! DrBev, how can I manage my difficult emotions without going postal?Hate. Pain. Revenge. Don’t want to love. Can’t love because…– Rasheed Lee’s emotions spilled out silently in the room full of Jacksonville youths torn by tragedy (jim.schoettler@jacksonville.com.) Rasheed and 53 other Jacksonville boys and girls ages 7 to 17 spent the weekend mixing solemn group therapy — disguised as expressive arts and crafts exercises — with swimming and other fun during the second annual Camp Maddie. The camp is designed in part for young homicide survivors to express their feelings among peers familiar with such emotions, said Glen Mitchell, co-founder of Compassionate Families the kids realize they are not alone. “How do you cope when somebody’s left?” “I believe you start to learning how to live with the hand you have been dealt. When my dad died .... I didn’t talk to nobody. That went on for two years,” another teen said. “I had to realize that by him being gone, I can’t throw my life away. I’m pretty sure he’d like to see me succeed in the end.” A 10-year-old girl wrote, Daddy, I miss you so much. I wish I could see you again. Someday I will when I come to those beautiful clouds with golden streets. Daddy, you don’t know how much I miss you. I love you. Sociologists say "The perpetrators of violent actions have contracted a 'social psychological infectious disease' that shows itself in a desire to take revenge on society, and reflect the tragic consequences of ignoring mental illness and rising stress resulting from huge social inequalities.
